Co-­‐sponsored  by  Magnes  Collection  of  Jewish  Art  and  Life  
 
The  Magnes  Collection  of  Jewish  Art  and  Life  at  The  Bancroft  Library  was  established  in  2010  after  the  
transfer  of  the  Judah  L.  Magnes  Museum  to  the  University  of  California,  Berkeley.  Its  remarkably  diverse  
archive,  library  and  museum  holdings  include  art,  objects,  texts,  music,  and  historical  documents  about  
the  Jews  in  the  Global  Diaspora  and  the  American  West.  As  one  of  the  preeminent  Jewish  collections  in  
the  world,  it  provides  highly  innovative  and  accessible  resources  to  both  scholars  and  visitors.  The  
Magnes's  new  home  in  downtown  Berkeley  (Fall  2011)  will  accommodate  deep  research,  as  well  as  offer  
the  general  public  a  place  to  gather  for  exhibitions,  lectures,  performances  and  other  events  that  foster  
community,  learning,  and  growth.
